RETAMAR, Guadalupe de la Maya  e  LOPEZ-PEREZ, Magdalena. Reading habits and lexical competence of future teachers of English in Primary Education. Educ. Form. [online]. 2021, vol.6, n.1, e3504.  Epub 04-Jan-2021. ISSN 2448-3583.  https://doi.org/10.25053/redufor.v6i1.3504.

This article aims to reflect on linguistic competence and the development of reading habits in higher education, specifically focusing on the analysis of the lexical competence of future primary English teachers and their reading uses in this foreign language. 34 students from the English Intensification Itinerary, from the Primary Education Degree at the Faculty of Education from the University of Extremadura have participated in the research. These students completed a questionnaire to determine the extent of their receptive vocabulary and a simple test in which they reported their reading habits. Most of the students have not yet acquired the knowledge of the lexicon of the 3000 most frequent words and neither have they established a reading habit in a foreign language. Lastly, in the correlation analysis carried out, no relationship between reading frequency and vocabulary size was observed.
